Pics of my new C55 with 19" SSR GT3s
You asked for pictures so here they are. The pictures do not do the wheels justice, they look much nicer in person. Thanks to everyone who helped me pick these wheels out.

19x8 front

235/35YR-19 Pirelli PZero Nero XL front
265/30YR-19 Pirelli PZero Nero XL rear
3mm spacers
Car is not lowered but the rear tires are a tight fit. The 265 do rub when I hit large pot holes or bumps.
In the rear I have about 3/4" clearance
In the front about 1.25" clearance
If I was going to lower the car I probably should have gone with a 255 rear tire size so they fit inside the wheel well better.

Nice! They look fimilar. :p The height actually looks very good for not being lowered. I seen some lowered cars that look similar in height.
If you did lower it, it will only rub a little bit in the rear. It pretty much just makes it. You can always roll the fender.

I could probably add some - camber and get it to clear but do not want to do that.I am waiting to hear your impresions on the coilovers you are going to install.
Did you have any rubbing on you tire an wheel set up on your old MB?
